How to carry out daily maintenance of valvesThe maintenance of industrial valves is essential to ensure the safe operation of the process system and extend the service life of the valve. Here are some professional industrial valve maintenance methods:
Periodic Inspections: Valves are inspected at regular intervals, including inspection of sealing performance, operational performance, and cosmetic condition. Check whether the valve is leaking, loose, damaged, etc., and find and solve the problem in time.
Lubrication: Lubricate the moving parts of the valve at regular intervals. According to the different types of valves and the different conditions of use, select the appropriate lubricant, and carry out lubrication maintenance according to the specified cycle to ensure the normal operation of the valve.
Cleaning: Regularly clean the valve and its accessories to remove dirt and sediment adhering to the surface of the valve. Especially for the medium with high fluid viscosity or easy to scale, the cleaning work should be strengthened to prevent the accumulation of dirt from affecting the normal use of the valve.
Calibration: Calibrate the control valve regularly to ensure that the regulating performance of the valve meets the requirements. Calibration involves adjusting parameters such as valve opening, flow characteristics, etc., to meet the needs of the process system.
Replace seals: Replace the seals of the valve regularly, including seat seals, packing seals, etc. Seals will be aged and worn after long-term use, and timely replacement can ensure the sealing performance of the valve.
Anti-corrosion treatment: For valves that are susceptible to corrosion, regular anti-corrosion treatment is carried out to prolong the service life of the valve. Anti-corrosion treatment can be carried out by coating anticorrosive paint, selecting corrosion-resistant materials, etc.
Spare parts management: Establish a sound spare parts management system to ensure timely spare parts for valves. In the event of a valve failure or the need to replace a component, it can be quickly replaced, reducing downtime.
Training of maintenance personnel: Professional training for maintenance personnel to improve their skills and awareness of valve maintenance. The training content includes valve structure, maintenance methods, safe operation, etc., to ensure the quality and efficiency of maintenance work.
